Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 493.1: Resolving, Sharp Blade in Hand

Since Li Hong Yuan made a move, Guard Qian and the others naturally just protected Jing Wan, constantly paying attention to the movements in the surrounding, staying on guard.

Li Hong Yuan fighting one against three was also completely like a fish in water. In addition to Le Cheng Emperor’s people assisting from the side, every time given the chance, Li Hong Yuan would breakthrough in various ways, not holding back in the slightest, severing arms and legs, letting those people completely lose their mobility. When it was clear that they had no way of succeeding, the three subconsciously chose to bite through the poison sack hidden in their mouth. Li Hong Yuan swung a kick over. The three of them clearly weren’t in a line, yet still all got kicked in the lower jaw, severing the possibility of committing suicide.

After dealing with these three, Li Hong Yuan suddenly turned his head, his eyes sweeping over, the blade in hand jolting, flying out of his hand. With a whoosh, it brushed past Le Cheng Emperor’s neck.

“Ughh——” A short and hasty sound.

The blade penetrated the neck of a woman behind Le Cheng Emperor, her hand still holding the crossbow, her eyes round and wide, dying with grievance.

Because of this, Le Cheng Emperor was frightened to the point of shaking all over. If not for having just used the toilet earlier, afraid he would’ve embarrassed himself even more.

The people to the side all silently shifted their eyes, either looking at the sky or the ground, or paying attention to the person next to them. In reality, the person that got beheaded by Li Hong Yuan just now, her target was actually Jing Wan and not Le Cheng Emperor. This fourth hidden assassin perhaps wanted to make a move during the chaos, but never thought that although Li Hong Yuan was fighting the three in front, he was nevertheless constantly paying attention to the situation in Jing Wan’s surrounding. Discovering that someone actually dared to make a move on Jing Wan, he just brazenly struck out, completely not caring who all this blade passed by.

The scene of Li Hong Yuan killing someone, it’s not like Jing Wan has never seen before. In that moment, he was absolutely an emotionless killing machine. Anyone that dares to step into his ‘territory’ all won’t have a good end. Just like just now, Jing Wan felt that those eyes of his all shone with a cold glint like that of a metal.

No one was naturally born as such. During the first time, Jing Wan was somewhat frightened, so at the time, didn’t think of this problem, just hearing people say that Jin Qinwang was malicious and ruthless. But now, knowing why he was like this, she just felt extremely heartbroken for him. Clearly just now she was protected very well. Even if he didn’t make a move, she absolutely won’t be in danger either, but he still made the move, to the extent of drawing out the darkest and gloomiest things from the depths his heart. “Ah Yuan…………”

“Your Majesty, are you okay?” Yu Zhong Qing supported Le Cheng Emperor, rather worryingly asking.

All of a sudden, this seemingly called back Jing Wan’s rationality. Tightening her fist, she collected her composure, forcibly shifting her gaze away from Li Hong Yuan, quickly walking towards Le Cheng Emperor and supporting his arm, “Imperial father, are you alright? Just now, really scared this daughter-in-law to death. Fortunately wangye reacted quick enough, else imperial father might’ve just………..” Seemingly realizing that she’d said something wrong, Jing Wan lightly slapped her mouth.

Don’t blame Jing Wan for letting Le Cheng Emperor shoulder the pot. She not only was doing it out of self-preservation, but more importantly, Li Hong Yuan disregarding Le Cheng Emperor’s safety because of someone else, that was just an enormous crime. Then, regardless of how much Le Cheng Emperor favors this son, once he becomes aware, they will certainly be punished. No matter how much he loves his son, can it compare with his own life? And many things that Li Hong Yuan has built up in the past will all go up in flames. That’s why, can only let Le Cheng Emperor think that everything Li Hong Yuan did was all for the sake of saving him. Only in this way can he have no faults.

“Is, is that so?” Le Cheng Emperor’s body was still trembling a little, unable to speak properly.

“Precisely so, these evildoers are truly too vile.” Jing Wan even somewhat nervously glanced backwards, and as if seeing something very scary, immediately averted her line of sight.

Le Cheng Emperor also somewhat slowly glanced backwards, seeing the person that died holding the crossbow, and immediately acknowledged Jing Wan’s words, nodding his head, “Old six, old six this time has merit in saving this emperor, later this emperor will definitely reward heavily.”

Jing Wan slightly relaxed a breath. As long as Le Cheng Emperor acknowledged this, it was enough. In any case, the situation just now, aside from their own people, probably no one else was clear as to what happened. Even if someone has objections, nothing can be done either. After all, a qin-wangfei and an emperor, no one would believe that the target of assassination was a qin-wangfei and not the emperor. Even Le Cheng Emperor himself all thought this, which was why he didn’t question Jing Wan’s words in the slightest. As such, towards the interrogation of the other assassins, it will also have nothing to do with them.

“Quickly call Gong Jiu over to look at imperial father’s wound.” Jing Wan instructed, “Imperial father, first rest a moment, dress the wound, and afterwards escort you back to the palace? And these assassins, hand over to the Black Clad Guards to interrogate, what do you think?”

“Old six’s wife, you can make the arrangements.” His eyes however were on Li Hong Yuan.

Jing Wan hurriedly went forward, grabbing Li Hong Yuan’s arm, and in a place unseen by others, strongly squeezed, “Wangye, even if wangye is angry at imperial father, things have already passed by some time now. Besides, wasn’t imperial father considering for the sake of overall situation. In imperial father’s heart, he certainly still loves you the most. Wangye……….”

Li Hong Yuan looked to Jing Wan, his spirit slowly returning to his eyes. Jing Wan’s words, he also took in more than half. He forcibly closed his eyes, and then looked towards Le Cheng Emperor, coldly opening his mouth, “As long as imperial father is fine.” The subtle changes during this process, for the people not familiar with Li Hong Yuan, for the most part couldn’t be noticed.

“Just one line? Quickly go support imperial father to go rest and take care of the wound.” Jing Wan seemingly impatiently pushed him.

Li Hong Yuan very much wanted to say, who cares if he dies, but knowing that Jing Wan was doing everything to cover up all for his sake, how can he mess it all up because of his mood.

Thus, Le Cheng Emperor watched his son unwillingly walk over, even unconsciously revealing a smile. His frightened guts just now also seemingly returned to normal. Without waiting for Li Hong Yuan to reach out to support him, he just singlehandedly grabbed Li Hong Yuan’s arm. Li Hong Yuan greatly endured to not have him flung aside. His mood right now was very bad, just like back when he’d just returned. He clearly wanted to destroy everything, yet had no choice but to put on an act, feeling incomparably sullen.

“Yu Zhong Qing, you stay behind and watch over the three assassins, wait for the Black Clad Guards to come over to pick up. During this time, no one is allowed to come in contact with them. This emperor has old six here, so safety certainly isn’t a problem.”

“Yes, your Majesty.” Yu Zhong Qing deferentially replied, picking up the three assassins and throwing into the nearest private room, guarding outside the door like a door god.

Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan stayed by Le Cheng Emperor’s side, letting Gong Jiu apply medicine for him. The remaining people were in charge of pacifying the crowd.

Just, the emperor getting attacked by assassins———–Regardless of who the original target was, in any case, letting Le Cheng Emperor encounter, then the target of assassination was precisely him———–the estate naturally needed to be temporarily sealed off. However, for such a thing to happen, it was obvious that it would similarly make people alarmed. That many people, how to arrange, still need to ask Le Cheng Emperor for instructions.

“Since the assassins have already been either captured or killed, then naturally it’s just carrying on as usual. This emperor is still here, so what’s there to be scared of?”

Le Cheng Emperor this while was rather firm, as if completely forgetting who it was previously that was frightened to the point of going limp, turning deathly pale.

“Wangye, could it be that our horse track’s fengshui isn’t good? Again and again, always having problem arise.” Jing Wan grumblingly muttered to Li Hong Yuan.

“What’s not good is just the human heart, what does it have to do with fengshui.” Li Hong Yuan indifferently swept Jing Wan a glance.

Jing Wan pursed her lips, no longer opening her mouth.

Just, the speaker was ‘unintentional’, but the listener had interest. The last time, when that incident with the Bai family happened, wasn’t it precisely here too? Le Cheng Emperor was similarly clear inside that it was actually someone framing and setting a trap. The investigation not having any results, he also pressed down, no longer continuing to track down.

But what about this time? To dare directly attack him, who could it be? Could it be that the assassination was similarly fake, and just trying to frame Li Hong Yuan again. Of course, if he’s really able to die, then afraid it was even better.

Le Cheng Emperor tightly clenched his teeth. This time, he absolutely must have this matter investigated clearly, absolutely won’t tolerate in the slightest.
